Contents

The name of the template, which is needed for the "view · talk · edit" links to work properly on all of the pages where the template is used. You can enter {{subst:PAGENAME}} for this value as a shortcut.

title (or header)

Text that appears centered in the titlebar (the top bar). Usually this is the template's topic, i.e. a succinct description of the body contents.

body

The material contained by the template, usually a list or list of links. Use &#124; to separate links. It is not possible to directly include a pipe ("|") in the contents as this symbol is used to separate parameters. &amp:#124; or {{!}} can be used in the body to produce a pipe symbol. Format is inline.

Header color. Default is #ccccff. Use of this parameter is discouraged. Where it is used, care and consensus are needed as multiple navigational templates on one page with different titlebar colors will probably look unpleasant.

cat (or category)

The category or categories to which a page sporting the template will become a member.
